St Collen's knocks down a £1,100 bargain from its auction night


* Auctioneer Andrew Conde wields the gavel.

St Collen's church funds will benefit by over £1,100 from an evening featuring an auction of promises and entertainment held in the Community Hall yesterday (Friday) evening.

Almost £600 was raised from the auction itself, professionally run by Andrew Conde, which featured lots including a Wild Pheasant spar for two voucher, Llangollen Eisteddfod tickets, a £25 voucher for the market fish stall, tickets for the Twenty Club performance of The Importance of Being Earnest, a Llangollen Golf Club 4 Ball voucher, a Fouzi’s £20 voucher and Sunday lunch for two at The Hand Hotel.

They were all donated by local businesses and individual supporters of the church and were knocked down to considerably more than their guide prices. 

The evening also featured the serving of cheese and wine plus a raffle and other games. 

Entertainment included musical selections from local old time music hall performer Phil Robinson of the Collen Players and soloist Angharad Watts, both accompanied on the piano by Owen Roberts. 

The event was organised by church members, a large team of whom helped behind the scenes to make the evening a success.
